| | | Egret?
I'm sticking my neck out here in the hope of a positive ID on a bird I saw this afternoon. The three pictures (terrible quality, I apologise, my camera didn't like the distance  ) below are of the bird which landed in the next field to where we were walking a few hundred yards from the Thames on farmland in Berkshire. It few in and landed in a very 'heron-like' way and seemed to be roughly the size of a buzzard.
Is it an egret and if so which one? (I've never seen any egret to my knowledge so it would be nice if it is but I'm probably way off  )

Yes, the dark lores and dark bill identifies it as a Little Egret. |
